Chapter 26: Woah, So Experienced (1/2)

“What are you doing?” Lin Chuxue curiously asked Xu Cheng who had his eyes closed.

Xu Cheng’s ears could hear all the noises and movements around him, including… the “glulululu” sound coming from Lin Chuxue’s stomach due to hunger.

He turned his head around to give Lin Chuxue a weird look.

Lin Chuxue was quite surprised as to why Xu Cheng suddenly looked at her with that kind of gaze, and she immediately turned her head to look at the screen above the elevator door that displayed the floor numbers.

Xu Cheng gently tugged on Lin Chuxue’s hand and said, “Go hide over there for a moment.” He then pointed at a building gap in the corridor.

Lin Chuxue felt the request was quite random, but since Xu Cheng was in charge of her now, she could only listen to him and go hide in there.

When the elevator was about to come up, Xu Cheng immediately turned around and pretended like he was just pulling out his keys to lock his door. The elevator opened, and the three reporters came out with their cameras. They scanned the surroundings and saw Xu Cheng who had his back towards them, looking like he had just came out from his room.

But, they didn’t see the Lin Chuxue that was hiding in the corner.

Lin Chuxue was also a little shocked, how did Xu Cheng know that the people coming up were reporters?

“Excuse me, sir, have you seen Lin Chuxue or know which unit she’s in on this floor?” The reporters came over to ask as they stuffed 3 one-hundred yuan bills into Xu Cheng’s hand and continued, “Do us a favor, our work isn’t easy.”

Xu Cheng slightly smiled, took the three hundred yuan into his bag, and said as he pointed at the unit furthest down the hall, “I remember seeing an unfamiliar girl standing in front of that door in the morning, but I’m not sure if she went in or not.”

The three reporters immediately went over like sharks that smelled blood.

Xu Cheng immediately turned to Lin Chuxue and gave her a look. Because the reporters’ backs were facing her, she could tiptoe her way into the elevator without alerting them, and Xu Cheng quickly entered with her and closed the elevator doors.

He quickly pressed the button on the first floor just as Lin Chuxue floated over behind him and said, “I want a share of that three hundred yuan.”

Xu Cheng rolled his eyes. “I’m trying so hard to get you out of here, and you still want to fight over three hundred yuan with me?”

“Hey, did you get it wrong? Those reporters gave you money because they wanted my information.” Lin Chuxue pouted and pretended to be pissed. “They only spent 300 on my information, I thought it could go for at least a couple hundred thousand. I can’t believe you accepted only 300 yuan…”

“Quiet for a second.” Xu Cheng stopped her whining and continued to listen for the noises down below.

Sure enough, he heard a lot of noises coming from the first floor. The property management team probably dispatched security to try and maintain order, but they just couldn’t kick the reporters and fans out since they were too hyped and wouldn’t listen to anything. From the noise coming from below, Xu Cheng could tell that there were at least thirty or forty people!

This was just a conservative estimate.

It seemed like they won’t make it if they take the elevator directly down to the first floor.

Suddenly, Xu Cheng stopped the elevator at the second floor and grabbed Lin Chuxue’s hand and walked out.

“What are you doing? Why aren’t we going down?” Lin Chuxue couldn’t keep up with his pace and asked in curiosity.

“It’s too late, they already surrounded the place,” Xu Cheng said, still domineeringly holding onto her hand and walking towards the staircase. However, he also began hearing some noise from the stairway.

“There are so many people downstairs, someone definitely told Princess Snow. She would only take the elevator if she’s stupid. We might get a little surprise if we guard the stairway.” These voices came from three girls, but Xu Cheng knew it wouldn’t just be a few of them waiting in the stairway.

He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and said to Lin Chuxue, “Give me your phone.”

“To do what?” Lin Chuxue was a bit startled when Xu Cheng asked for her phone.

“Do you think I will sell you out or something?” Xu Cheng glared at her.
